All your hospice meds come from the same place.
The doctor sends prescriptions to the pharmacy. The pharmacy verifies coverage under hospice benefit. Medications get delivered to your home, usually within 24 hours. You don’t coordinate refills, Citadel handles that.
Hospice patients often need controlled substances for pain. Our dedicated pharmacy stocks these medications and understands hospice needs. Having one pharmacy manage everything prevents coverage confusion and delays getting critical medications.
